THE INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOr

cent Should a strike be ordered $4,000 men,
most of them with families, will be involved
A compromise has been effected on
basis of nine hours work per day, with pay
for only nine hours, and the carpenters strike
threatened at Pittsburg has been averted.
A Chicago dispatch says: "Two thou
sand bricklayers quit work because their en-
ployers refused to pay on Saturday The
custom has been for years to pay on Monday
or Tuesday. The employers will not yield
the point, having already granted every other
demand made upon them; and in order to
settle the question they have determined upon
lockout, even if it should involve all the
building trades. The strike of the hodcarriers
still continues, aud the walking delegates
were busy perambulating the streets in search
of occasional union men who might be at
work In this way some five hundred men
were called of and added to the army of
idlers."

notice, written in large letters, was posted
yesterday: "All members of the Master Ma
sons now working men are requested to stop

the Executive Committee. }. Downey Presi-
dent" The meaning of this notice was clear to
all the contractors, master masons, carpenters,
brick manufacturers, plasterers, and build
ing-material men, who stood around the nall
in large groups discussing the situation. 1t
meant that next Monday probably $1,000
men will be idle, and that all contractors,

ing materials, will have to rest for an indef-
mite period

REGULATING THE RAILROADS

Judge Cooley, Chairman of tine In
terstate Commerce Commission has a ldressed
the following letter to the other members of
the commission for their approva:
The Interstate Commerce Commission has
had transmitted to it from the State Depart
ment, II communication from William d. H.
Washington, United States commercial agent
at LONDON Ontario, in which that officer laws
before the department the disastrous effects OF
the recent act to regulate commerce upon the
trade OF the United States with Canada and
gives instances to prove their alarming nature
From the communications being sent to the
commission / infer the department expects
some notice to be taken of It, and though tho
Commissioners are just now separated,
venture TO express my own thoughts Mr.
Washngton's fears of disastrous consequences
are, am well assured, excessive. They will
not To any great extent be realized. Some in
conveniences must necessarily arise from mt
ting in force law which attempts such con-
siderable changes, but they will be great n
at first than after the working Of the law has
become understood, and greatest while parties
are hestating to act because OF doubts
Of constructions, Probably no important
act ever passed by Congress has elic-
with such radical differences the one in ques-
ton. The terms Of the act not clear as
they might have been; but 10 should also be
said that the state of mind i'm which persons diff
ferently circumstance have come to an exam
ination OF the law has not been conducive TO
harmonious views. careful reading OF Mr..
Washngtons letter seems TO show that the con-
sequences which he attributes to the law flow
from the construction railroad managers have
put upon II, and which may or may not be correct
In a recent visit OF the Com missioners 30 the
Southwest IL was made very apparent I'm the
testimony taken that some persons were excited
by fears of the destruction OF their business
which had no other basls than views OF the law
which were erroneous that IL would seem they
ought not to have been entertained by anyone.
1 cannot help thinking that equally unfounded
views have had much 90 do with tho disturb
ances of trade OF which Mr.. Washington speaks,
and that as these are corrected the disturbances
will become comparatively unmportant 1
